__________________________________________
Air conditioner seems to run too much
__________________________________________
The current air conditioner replaced an older
model. The use of more efficient components may
cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older
model, but the total energy consumption will be less.
Newer air conditioners do not emit the blast of cold
air you may be accustomed to from older units, but
this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or
efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in BTU/hr.) marked on the air
conditioner.
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room,
or heat-producing appliances are in use in the
room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or
bathing and try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity
air conditioner may be required, depending on the
size of the room being cooled.
__________________________________________
Air Conditioner cycles on and off too much, or
does not cool/heat room in cooling/heating mode
__________________________________________
The mode of Fan control is set to Power Saver
(on some models). Use Power Saver only when you
are asleep or away from home, since the fan does
not circulate the room air continuously. Use Low
Cool, High Cool, or Turbo Cool for your best comfort.
The air conditioner is not properly sized for your
room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air
conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed
to cool multiple rooms.
The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean
the filter.
The inside evaporator and outside condenser
coils are dirty or obstructed by debris. See
“Annual Maintenance.
There is excessive heat or moisture (open
container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room.
Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room.
Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner
in a location where the louvers are free from curtains,
blinds, furniture, etc.
The outside temperature is below 65ºF (18ºC). Do
not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling
mode when the outside temperature is below 65ºF
(18ºC).
The temperature of the room you are trying to
cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air
conditioner to cool off a very hot room.
Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close
all windows and doors.
The Vent control is set to OPEN (on some
models). Push the Vent control to CLOSED for
maximum cooling and/or heating.
The temperature set point or
Thermostat control is not at a cool enough
setting. Adjust the temperature set point to a cooler
setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the
temperature or adjust the Thermostat control to a
cooler setting by turning the knob clockwise. Turn the
Fan control to HIGH or Turbo Cool.
__________________________________________

temperature
__________________________________________
When the compressor and fan motor turn off
during Power Saver mode, or after you turn off
the unit, a lower temperature reading than the
actual room temperature may be displayed for a
short period of time. This lower temperature
reading is caused by the temperature sensor being
located close to the cold evaporator coil. The actual
room temperature will display within a few minutes.
__________________________________________
Water drips from cabinet into your house
__________________________________________
The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air
conditioner should slope slightly downward toward
